On paper this looks like the best collection of strikers in Africa. Not many countries can boast of a large pool of strikers listed by Siasia.
The challenge, however, is to get the mix right and get them firing on all cylinders considering Egypt are strong defensively.
Odion Ighalo stands out and for good measure too. The former Granada FC forward has been plundering in the goals at Watford in the English Premiership.
Seventeen goals in all competitions is a good return at any level and he will look to transfer that form against the Pharaohs.
Skipper Ahmed Musa needs no introduction. The speedy winger can please and enrage with equal measure.
The CSKA Moscow man, on his day can be a handful as Argentina found out at the 2014 Fifa World Cup.Musa has pace in abundance but then his final ball needs improvement. Hopefully, the ‘real’ Ahmed Musa will turn up on match day.
Fanendo Adi is a surprise inclusion but has apparently been rewarded for his stellar showing for Major League Soccer (MLS) club Portland Timbers last season.
